Just the world-renowned awards ceremonies in the film industry, the Golden Globes in January, the Berlin Film Festival in February, the Oscars in March, the Cannes Film Festival in May, and the Venice Film Festival in September already decorate every season. It's bustling, not to mention music awards ceremonies big and small, as well as award ceremonies like the Sundance Film Festival.

Generally speaking, the awards season refers to the period from December to March of the following year, just because the awards ceremonies are concentrated during this time, it is not only a time for family reunion at Christmas, but also a time for artists to summarize the harvest of the year.

Beginning in early December, the Billboard Music Awards, the Boston Film Critics Association Awards, the San Francisco Film Critics Association Awards, and the National Critics Association Awards have been on the scene, officially kicking off the annual awards season. Among them, the National Critics Association Award, along with the North American Broadcasting Film Critics Association Award and the Golden Globe Award, is regarded as the "Oscar Weathervane Three Giants".

In January, the Directors Guild of America Awards, the Society of Broadcasting Film Critics Awards, the American Film Institute Awards, the Golden Globes, the Screen Actors Guild Awards, and the American Music Awards all pushed awards season into a state of flux almost every week. There will be awards ceremonies, even a weekend, Saturday is the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, Sunday is the Golden Globes, people welcome it.

In February and March, Brit Awards, BAFTA Awards, Oscars,

The Grammys and other heavyweight award ceremonies were announced one by one, drawing the curtain on the grand occasion of the awards season.

Therefore, after entering November, the media has already begun to warm up for the upcoming awards season. First, predict the nomination list and see which films are the most popular: after the nomination list is announced, then predict the winners to see who will be proud of the awards season.

There is no doubt that Evan Bell, who has gone through a year of ups and downs, is also shining in the excitement of the awards season. Of course, not to mention the music performance, the sales of the album "Two" completely showed a dominant trend, and the only comparable Amy-Nam was in the hustle and bustle at the end of the year, and the momentum was slightly inferior to Evan Bell. And newcomers such as Jason-Mayez, Avril-Lavigne, etc., the media are very keen to discuss "who is the next Evan-Bell". As a phenomenon, Evan Bell's name can be seen everywhere.

Relatively speaking, the film aspect has sparked fierce debate among the media. Apart from the cartoon "Ice Age", Evan and Bell currently have two films, "Chasing the Killer in the White Night" and "Sniper Phone Booth", both of which are commercial movies, but Evan and Bell have made breakthroughs in them that cannot be ignored. It became the focus of media debate.

Among the nominees predictions posted by Chris Fair Punk on Film Review is a short comment on Evan Bell's "A remarkable performance that breaks age barriers and challenges the limits of physical and psychological, the struggle between good and evil: Afterwards, the psychological changes on the edge of life and death are delicate and real, and Evan Bell deserves to be nominated for a performance." Chris Fairbank finally thought that Evan Bell would use the "sniper phone booth" The stunning performance in the film won a Best Actor nomination.

"New York Times" professional film critic Neil Darcy's comments have always been polarized, this time he also praised Evan-Bell "Chasing the murderer in the white night, the old Evan among them is mature in the swing of conscience and self-esteem. The biggest highlight of the movie: "Sniper at the phone booth, Evan is cunning and humble, although Stu is a liar, but his tears convince the audience. Evan Bell's second-year performance as an actor shows us the emergence of a genius. Neil-Darcy also voted for "Sniper Phone Booth", believing that Evan-Bell could be nominated for Best Actor for this film.

Obviously, Evan Bell's performance in the sniper phone booth has been generally recognized. However, "variety" film critics who commented more seriously have different opinions.

"Sniper at the phone booth is wonderful, but it doesn't show the level and depth of Evan's performance, and "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" has become a big stage for Evan's performance, whether it's his self-defense or directing Robin's rivalry. The splendid confrontation between the two made the young man shine. Not to mention that a nineteen-year-old boy challenged the breakthrough of a middle-aged police detective, which is amazing. "

"Variety" believes that Evan-Bell should rely on "White Night" to win a Best Actor nomination.

If there is support, there will naturally be neutrality and opposition. This is the theorem.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Evan has given us two great and very different performances this year, but he is still relatively young." The pianist, Adrien Brody, gave For the jaw-dropping performance: "About Schmidt, veteran actor Jack Nelson in "Chicago," once again blew everyone's minds: not to mention Richard Gill's standout in "Chicago,". Evan was indeed born out of nowhere this year, but "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" and "Sniper Phone Booth" are still slightly inferior, and he has not yet reached the level to be nominated for the nomination. "

Two of the UK's top film magazines "Empire" and "Sight and Sound" will naturally not miss this lively. Their views are similar to those of The Hollywood Reporter. They believe that although Evan-Bell has made a difference, because of the lack of power in the work, it is still a sigh of relief and will miss the nomination. These two magazines praised the performance of Adrien Brody among the "pianists", and believed that Adrien Brody, who is also a young warrior, had the thickness of his works and the splendor of his performances. On, they all overwhelmed Evan and Bell. Therefore, the final nomination will be won by Adrien Brody, and Evan Bell can only look forward to next year.

Compared with the neutral position "Premier" of "The Hollywood Reporter", "Empire", "Sight and Sound" and other magazines, the opposition seems to have completely forgotten that there is a person named Evan Bell, and they do not think that Evan Bell is at all. Wen Yibeier has the opportunity to be shortlisted for nominations. In the "Premiere", Elliott Carter also "politely xìng" mentioned "Evan Bell, who had to be mentioned in 2002, for his age of 20, his performance can be regarded as wonderful, But it's still not enough to get him on the stage of a movie awards ceremony."

In fact, although these professional media have different positions, they are all justified. When the first batch of nominations was released, it basically conformed to this prediction.

Evan Bell's name has not been seen on the nomination list for the National Critics Association Award, which is known as one of the Oscar vanes: while the Boston Film Critics Association and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, the nominations for the best actor The name "Sniper Phone Booth, Evan Bell" appeared on the TV series, earning Evan Bell his first nomination in the film industry.

Compared with the controversy in the film, Evan Bell once again demonstrated his strong appeal on the nomination list of the US Billboard Music Awards. Best Artist of the Year, Best Male Singer of the Year, Best Album of the Year, as well as rhythm and blues or hip-hop, rock and other categories, won a total of nine nominations, leading the nomination list, making people see Evan Bell A sweeping trend in music.

The nominees for the first bō awards ceremony have been announced, and awards season has ushered in another wave of bō movie premieres.

As we all know, some movies are mainly aimed at the commercial box office, and some movies are mainly aimed at winning an award - and then make a profit through screening or DVD.

For movies whose main goal is to win awards, although the saying goes, gold always shines, but in a place like Hollywood where gold is everywhere, you have to stand out and wait quietly for the audience and the judges Wisdom eyes and pearls, it can definitely be said that there is no hope.

Therefore, in order to make some achievements in the awards season, sales, publicity, and public relations are bound to become a link that cannot be ignored.

Taking the Oscars as an example, the Oscar statuettes are voted and promoted by more than 6,000 members of the sponsor, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The act of secretly canvassing votes.

However, there are countermeasures for policies and policies, and the director of the film company can seize the loophole. For example, free movie tickets are provided, and “informal” small screenings are used to promote “feelings” with members of the academy, and the premiere time of the movie is arranged before the awards season at the end of the year, and the promotion of the movie itself has become a topic of conversation. , to achieve the purpose of eye-catching with freshness.

Therefore, the end of the year has naturally become a peak period for movie release.

Generally speaking Even if it is a movie for the Oscar statuette, the box office is bound to be a link that cannot be ignored: the box office and DVD income after winning the award are originally the film company's pursuit of reputation. eternal. Therefore, commercial films will still be the first choice for the summer season, while the serious drama films are not very competitive at the box office, and the films that will hit the awards at the end of the year will gather together.

Generally speaking, film companies will screen their favorite feature films in November and December at the end of the year, in order to open up a world during the awards season.

At the end of last year, Evan Bell's "adaptation" film with Nicolas Cage and Meryl Streep was considered by Columbia as a promising film for the award, so although it was announced as early as April and May. Post-production has been completed, but the film has been delayed until December.

On Friday, December 6th, "Adapted Screenplay" was officially released, and Evan Bell, who was filming the film in the Caribbean Sea, regrettably missed the premiere of the film. Nevertheless, during the awards season, there was Nicholas Kay. Qi, Meryl Streep, two actors, and the "adapted script" performed by the rising star Evan Bell is obviously also aggressive and has attracted a lot of media attention.
